You can try this site and if you like it you can get in touch with the teacher
Megumi Nanasawa (on the contrary of what the name might lead to think, he is a man).
I have been taking them since June and I am halfway through with the lessons. He sends lessons with planty of exercises and every other lesson he sends a review test...moreover it is pretty cheap.

Drawback...a native speaker in here corrected me a couple of times on something that came from those lessons...but surely and easily I know much more than I used to.

Rosetta Stone is very expensive, I suggest Japancast.net if you are trying to learn how to speak Japanese.

Hell no they charge a fortune for material you can obtain on the internet for free. There are numerous sources on line to help you including using Skype to learn from language teachers in Japan.

personally I found Tae Kim's Japanese guide to Japanese grammar ridiculously helpful (I use it as a reference, I take classes at uni), and it is also traduced in lots of other languages than english-- useful for people like me who speaks french

Enrol in a university or a course of some sort.

Sure you can study yourself using online resources or self-study materials... but the best way to learn a language is with other people I think. That way you can support each other and practice with each other. Also you have a qualified teacher who can correct your mistakes etc.

eduFire - Live Video Learning

It's an online language learning platform. Cheap tutoring sessions and free 1:m classes. (1:M = 1 to many).

You get taught in real-time by a real person, or, if you don't like online learning, you could actually go and find a tutor in real life.
